Chapter 16 Orc Bones

A few days later, the team left the Araka Plain. Arakahan Castle disappeared from the horizon two days ago. The princess Leah's carriage and eight maids dressed as knights fell at the end of the team and followed the large army slowly.

Even when camping at night, they seemed out of place with everyone. They always laid the tent alone in the most remote corner of the camp and maintained a close relationship with everyone. It is estimated that the Seventh Princess wanted to express her dissatisfaction with this. Perhaps in her heart, the team of wishing the squad chased after her now to prove how wise and correct her previous suggestions were.

Serpis and Xu Mo basically ignored the silent protests of the royal girls. If they were surprised by Leah's meticulous thoughts before, then now, the quarrel girl is just a magical girl with some carefree thoughts in their eyes.

No wonder this Seven Princess has the support of the Holy See, but is still defeated before the battle to fight for the throne. He can only unite with the third prince Brian to fight against the eldest prince Felix.

The Knights team in front of the team slowly slowed down their pace of progress, "Dede!" Curt took the other four squad leader to turn his horse's head from the front and came to Serpis.

"His Excellency Serpis, we are almost at the original border (the border between Briland and Eltien). There is a valley not far ahead, so I'm afraid we need to detour!" Curt took off his leather gloves and patted the dust on his horse's hair.

"Around? Why? Are there dangerous wild creatures in that valley?" asked Serpis in surprise.

"No, that valley... was once the main battlefield of the Northern War. The Northern Army fought a decisive battle with the Beast and Barbarian Alliance here. During that battle, more than 20,000 Northern Army soldiers and 50,000 orcs died here." Curt said sadly, "At that time, the entire valley was covered with dead bodies, and the gathering of blood turned the soil into aurora. To this day, this land still has no grass."

"I participated in that battle!" Hanks next to Curt suddenly said with emotion. "Since then, this low-lying valley has begun to be deserted, and no creature can survive in it. Breland calls it "orcskeletons", and the beast barbarian tribes call it "sorcs valleys."

"After passing the 'orc skeleton', will we reach the border?" Xu Mo asked in a deep voice.

"Well, after passing the 'orc skeleton', we will be able to see the Qiyun Forest of Eltien in Eltien!" Curt nodded affirmatively, "At the edge of the Qiyun Forest, there is a border town that used to be the Serubaran of Eltien. But now, it has been abandoned, and only some of the transformer tribes live there."

Xu Mo lowered his head and pondered that the Qiyun Forest occupied 70% of Altien's area, and 20% of the area was half of Galifar Lake and Silver Moon Lake. Before the final war, this country was originally part of Owendere.

The protracted war burned a large area of ​​forest and polluted Lake Galifar and Silver Moon. It eventually aroused the anger of a demigod Druid Orion, living in seclusion deep in the Qiyun Forest.

The Great Druid Orion is a tree man with towering pine trees. At the end of the final war, the tree man's long sleep was awakened by the continuous war. He angrily declared that the Chiyun Forest and the Eltien Field had left the rule of Owendeer and became a free tribal state. Any war act in Eltien will usher in the revenge of Orion.

This declaration of independence did not attract the attention of all parties to the war at first. However, when the two armies of Owendeer and Brilander fought at Eltien, the world finally saw the power of the God of Forest for the first time.

Countless beasts and birds in the Qiyun Forest came overwhelmed, and towering trees rose up from the ground, which was even more deadly than any war structure. The inconspicuous green vines also turned into death-hunting god of death, sweeping across all the resistance forces in the forest.

The troops of Owendale and Brilander were like a beautiful and fragile soap bubble, which was about to be destroyed under the power of nature and became fertilizer for forests and fields.

This drastic change caused the two major belligerents to stop all wars in the wilderness of Eltien. Even the orcs and barbarians in the demonic wasteland could not invade south for a long time. The people of Eltien built a fantastic forest city, Bixin City, where Eurion was located, as the heart of Eltien.

However, peace is always short-lived. To this day, the power of the Great Druid Orion was exhausted and he fell into a long sleep again. The surrounding Owendale, Briland and the demonic wasteland once again invaded the Eltien field, and in the battle that Briland called the Northern War, Eltien divided into three.

Of course, considering the painful lessons that angered Orion back then, the three sides showed extraordinary caution in the war. Not only did they not burn the forest on a large scale and pollute the environment. Moreover, the battlegrounds were basically far away from the Qiyun Forest and were launched on the border of the Three Kingdoms to avoid waking up the Great Druid Orion again.

Part of Altien's humans and half-elves moved to Owendale and Breland, and part of them retreated into the depths of the Qiyun Forest - Bixin City, which is a paradise that the three forces dare not disturb.

"Old K, what do you think?" Shepis asked softly in the team channel.

"Along the way, I was thinking about how to use the Leo team. I originally thought I needed to leave the border of Briland. Now, since there are places like orc skeletons, I think the plan can be implemented in advance." Xu Mo took a deep breath and his eyes became sharp.

"Do you want to ambush them in orc skeletons?" Ross' voice sounded from the team channel. "Since even old warriors like Curt are unwilling to enter this valley, I'm afraid that Leo and the others will not enter rashly in order to rush the road, right? After all, they still have a lot of opportunities. Even on the way back, it's still time to attack us again!"

"The old leader K's meaning is not to ambush the enemy! Leo is not a fool. He knows that we are ahead, he will definitely be very cautious and will most likely not enter the orc skeleton." Simon said with a smile, "Let you enter the orc skeletons to avoid them and let them surpass us."

"Let them be in front?" Xuepis's eyes lit up, "Old K, do you want to kill someone with a knife?"

"Well, there is only one entrance to the underground world in the dusk woodland. I believe that those top teams will definitely conduct temptations on other teams before entering the underground world to formulate the strategies behind them." Xu Mo said lightly, "Leo himself is a Sky Knight equivalent to a third-level transferee. The strength of the Emerald Claw Group is also pretty good. Why not let them do us a favor?"

"But... I seem to remember you said that the eldest prince Felix doesn't care whether there is a dragon crystal vein. If Leo meets other forces, will he backfire and let them unite?" Yi Yun's confused voice sounded in the team channel.

"No, as long as we don't show up for the time being, Leo may not be able to win the trust of other forces. No matter what the top teams say, they will test Leo's team once." Xu Mo blinked cunningly.

"If it were us, everyone would know this kind of temptation and would not have unnecessary thoughts. But Leo's team is different. As long as they fight once, no matter what the result is, the two sides will never reach a foundation for mutual trust!" Simon continued Xu Mo's words and continued, "It's just..."

"It's just what?" asked the little beauty Yiyun curiously.

"It's just that the team is going to disperse and move!" Serpis sighed, he already understood.

The large army was hiding in orc skeletons, while a few people were going to follow Leo to secretly monitor and strengthen intelligence transmission so that the large army could avoid the tentative battle at the entrance of the woodland at dusk.

...

"Enter the orc skeleton?" Curt looked at Serpis with a strange expression, "Are you sure? Orc skeletons are not a tourist destination, and few people can tolerate that valley."

"Is it very dangerous?" Xu Mo asked with a frown. If the orc skeletons are really in great danger, their plans would have to be modified.

"The danger is not enough, but... you will know when you get there!" Larter, one of the Knights' captains, said with a wry smile.

More than half an hour later, the team arrived at the edge of the orc skeleton. Looking at the strange scene in front of them, Xu Mo and others understood why several knight captains opposed allowing the team to enter the orc skeleton valley.

The soil in this valley, known as the "orc skeleton", is aurora-brown, and the barren land emits a rotten stench. There is no green in the dirty brown soil, and scattered skeletons and broken weapons can be seen everywhere, like a mass grave dug by a wild dog.

The area of ​​the valley is not very large, with small hills like pits and graves everywhere. A small number of dead trees with broken branches make the entire valley look even more desolate and deadly. On the entire vitality plain, the orc skeletons seem like an ugly scar, which is unforgettable and deliberately ignores its existence.

"This is the home of the god of death, not the territory of the living. No one wants to stay overnight in the bones of orcs. Lord Serpis, I hope you will think more before making a decision!" Curt said with a sigh.

"Even out of loyalty to His Highness Brian, can you enter this valley?" Shepis said slowly with a flash of eyes.

"...I understand, I just ask your people to respect everything here and don't turn the bones and weapons of the dead at will!" Curt was silent for a while, and his face solemnly reminded.

"Of course, we will retain enough respect to the dead!" Shepis nodded seriously.
